How good is the CD Playback on a Toshiba HD-DVD?

Searched the Digital thread but could not find any references. If this question has already been asked/answered my apologies. Please reply with a link.

Otherwise, if you are the owner of a Toshiba HD-DVD and tried the CD playback, how good are the on-board DAC's ?

Thanks for your comments.

This is primarily a one trick pony. The hd resolution is very good. It may upconvert standard dvds so you can use hdmi-out. The quality on standard dvds is just ok--So I use my other dvd player for standard discs.
Now I never put a cd in mine but I wouldn't expect much.-- My point being, it does HD-DVd well the cd playback will get you by, as long as your expectations aren't to high.

Confession time ;my cd player is the AA Prestige se Further; whenever I play a standard dvd;my Arcam 27 is much better--So these players are what I based my opinion on. I have also played cds on the Arcam while I was between players and it ain't bad. I still say the Toshiba is a one trick pony;great at playing HD movies.
